Chapter 56: Phantom Lord (6)

Chapter 56: Phantom Lord (6)

~Third POV~

In a house within a tree inside of Magnolia's eastern woods lives a person whom the master has long known.

That person is Porlyusica a slim and tall elderly woman with pink hair, tied in a bun on the back of her head by two large pins with crescent moon-shaped edges, and with two bangs of hair left framing her face. She has reddish eyes, and a beauty mark located below her mouth, on the left side of her face.

Her attire consists of a dark green blouse with a tie around the collar, paired with a long matching skirt and simple shoes. Over this, she sports a crimson-colored cape, with a wide collar decorated by massive Dragon horn-like decorations protruding outwards, and edges adorned by white, arch-like motifs.

Porlyusica the Healing Wizard detests any human company, so she lives quietly in this place.

But despite her distaste for people, she is a specialist at curing the wounded.

*Slap*

That is where the current Master Makarov was taken towards as she slaps his face with the Fairy Tail members Bisca Connel and Alzack Connel in surprise.

"W-Wait just a second!!!"

"He's the Master—I mean, a wounded man!! What was that for?!!"

Porlyusica merely grunts at their words before finally replying to them as she glares down at the man Makarov for his reckless actions, "Hmph! He goes off and gets in brawls too rough for his age!! Just another foolish man!! And how long are you intending to hover around here?! Go home!!!"

The two tried to argue to stay but Porlyusica replies not turning around to reply to them face to face keeping her eyes on Makarov, "Go home! The worse thing for a sick man is to see anxious people fussing over him!"

*Woosh*

Silently entering through the window using her Illusion Magic Mavis merely smiles seeing her future guildmates.

Bisca and Alzack both looked at each other before Porlyusica continues with her words of what caused it, "He was hit by a wind-style magic, huh? It was Drain… a frightening attack of magic that forces its victim's magic to flow away from him. The drained magic will flow with the wind's breezes for a while and then dissipate. If we could recover Makarov's power from the wind, we could bring him back quickly, but –"

*BOOM*

Not too long Erza managed to return to the group taking Makarov holding in her hand the Small Mana Bottle and Salve with urgency in her tone, "In that case will these do to help the Master Porlyusica!!"

Hating getting interrupted Porlyusica would've argued and beat Erza with a broom but seeing the desperate expression she took the bottles with Erza explaining to her, "Porlyusica these potions will help the master. One of our guild mates provided me with potions that recover a person's Magic Power by 25% and the Salve to help the Master. It works I tested it myself when I went on a mission to stop Lullaby."

Porlyusica noticing the contents narrow her eyes at them but nonetheless gave them small doses to Makarov seeing an immediate effect with her eyes widening seeing his sickly pale completion change somewhat normal.

Porlyusica takes a careful look at the purple and green components with wariness in her eyes thinking to herself about the contents, 'What the hell are inside these potions? The effects are immediately when digested or even exposed… where did – '

*ZUUUMMM*

Before she could continue any further Erza's eyes widen at the sounds of the noise rushing ahead with worry in her heart with the rumbling heading towards the guild…

////

"Wh-What the hell is that…?!!"

"…!"

"A guild… is… walking…?"

"Is that Phantom Lords…?"

"Wh-What are we supposed to do now?!!"

"It's a magic focusing cannon!!!"

"Are they trying to blow our guild up?!!"

Coming towards the group with no one noticing over the six-legged mobile guild Twilight Lord with Erza rushing out of the Boundary Forest seeing the guild shaking in fear of the mobile guild, "I never counted on this… to be attacked this way…"

*Zuzushuuu….*

The Phantom Lord guild building landed down facing the crumbling Fairy Tail Guild as Jose above gave out his order for his men to hear, "Prepare the magic focusing canon Jupiter!! Eliminate them!!"

*Kang…*

*Kang…*

*Kang…*

*Zhugga…*

*Zhugga…*

*Keeee…*

The Jupiter Canon began to clank and turn beginning to charge up with Erza's eyes widening in worry warning everyone immediately rush intending to take the blast, "This is bad!!!! Everyone, get down!!!!"

"Erza!!!"

"What do you think you're doing?!!"

The cries of worries of her guild members spoke out to her as they notice her using her Requip Magic to change into an armor that's more for defending against the cannon Jupiter blast yelling out loud with courage in her voice, "You will not harm our guild!!!"

Silva on the other hand was nowhere within the guild building as he was near the Phantom Lord's Guild holding Shambhala in his hand, "Time to create some magic. Almost time to use my Trump Card…"

"Her adamantine armor!!!"

"She doesn't think she can stop that thing, does she?!!!"

"I don't care how high-level that armor's defense is supposed to be, against that…"

"Don't do it Erza!!! It'll kill you!!!"

"Erza!!!"

"Natsu!!! All you can do now is trust Erza!!!"

"Oh, n…"

"DOGOOOOO…!"

Like that the Jupiter Cannon fired off the magical attack aiming at the guild with Erza prepared to protect and tank the hit…

Only a few miles nearing Erza Silva activated his Teigu Shambhala Trump Card in a casual manner with a sinister grin, "Trump Card! <Lost Realm>."

*Shiii*

Only for a portal of a yin yang sign began to appear out of nowhere with Silva prepared in advance activating his Teigu Trump Card <Lost Realm> sucking in the attack…

*Shiii*

Only for another portal to appear in front of the head of the guild building where the Guild Master was located as Jose's eyes widened seeing the attack being redirected that easily at their chain of command, "WHAT?!!!"

"DOGOOOO….!"

The great beam of magic that was originally headed towards the Fairy Tail Guild suddenly redirected back as the beam continued in its new direction and collided with the central command of Jose's group that had originally shot it out.

"BOOOOM!!!"

*THUD*

The attack was swallowed up whole by the beam as a large explosion of debris from the upper portion of the castle headquarters from the castle filled the sky with black smoke coming off the destroyed portion of the Guild central command building.

The legs of the gargantuan fortress in front of them collapsed as it was their moment of weakness with Erza perplexed at the sudden situation shifting.

But to anyone else Gray eyes widen recognizing the Magic Circle recalling the times Silva used it to teleport training as he voiced out, "Holy crap!! I didn't think he could use his Magic Tool for something like this!!"

That was when Gray looked around to finally notice someone missing as his and Erza's eyes dart towards a figure entering the Jupiter Cannon with white wings from the inside the two both rushed to get inside noticing Silva entering inside.

Then a distinct pained voice was heard coming from Jose roaring out alive from the communicators Lacrima's, "AHHHHHH!!!! YOU DAMN FAIRIES!!!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! LOOK AT YOUR HELL BEING KILLED BY MY TROOPERS!!!"

*Wooosh*

Soon humanoid monsters made by Jose appeared as Erza brandishes her swords with Gray following behind her noticing the monsters of <Spades> with Gray following behind creating an ice floor to skate his way.

Erza then spoke out in a serious tone hacking and slashing any monsters in her way with Gray doing the same, "Gray!! We have to get inside and stop Jose immediately and defeat the Element 4!! Where's Natsu he should be here to help…"

Listening to her questioning Gray responds to Erza her eyes turning serious as he spoke his answer, "No. Silva predicted that Jose might send someone to kidnap Lucy again, so he sent Natsu to help guard her with Happy, Reedus, and Elfman. And if they sent a Dragon Slayer he thought to send one of our own to counter."

Erza gives a curt nod in understanding slashing apart the monsters in her way with a determined tone in her thoughts, 'Silva… you managed to take this problem yourself and give everyone time to attack. It was foolish of me to leave the Guild undefended… because of my mistake, you had to take this action to stop their plan on the fly. Stupid of me. Just remain long enough for us to be of use…'

Gray was busy freezing the enemies having a determined thought in his head to help Silva out as he entered the base by himself, 'Damn it…! You had to go and save everyone again didn't you dumbass!!! It wasn't enough that you save Ur alone, but you had to go and protect everyone in the process… how exactly can I repay you back if you keep making the gap helping you bigger!'

/////

Elsewhere on the trip to one of Fairy Tail's secret bases to hide Lucy a group along with her has taken to keep her safe.

That was when Natsu, Reedus, Happy, Elfman, and Lucy that was knocked out asleep already left with Happy taking Natsu above as his nose got a whiff with an angry expression shown, "Sniff… There you are. Happy go that way we have our business with him. Reedus and Elfman keep Lucy safe yah got it?!!"

Happy understanding what Natsu meant agreed and dashed away as Reedus understood what this meant hurrying up to a different location masking their scent.

*Krak*

Elfman gave a silent nod but noticed a few tailings them as he cracks his knuckles proudly, "Heh. Seems like I must do my Manly duty to protect a lady in waiting. Those Phantom Lords are going to be in a world of pain when I'm done with them!!"

Elfman changes one of his arms into a beast remaining focused jumping out of the cart onto the top of the carriage, "Now then you pussies!! Come here and fight a real man you sorry sacks of shit!!! COME FIGHT ME!!!!"

*BAM*

Declaring his battle cry slamming his fist onto his chest determined to fight manly defending Lucy away from Phantom Lord as Natsu handles his end.

/////

*WOOSH*

Happy using <Aera> to create wings to fly noticed a group of Wizards coming in Lucy's direction surprised in his voice, "Whoa!! I guess Silva called it right when someone would come to get Lucy Natsu. Seems like you got your wish facing him and good luck beating that jerk!!"

Flying towards their target Natsu's eyes finally dart Gajeel as he also stopped he grins wickedly his minions stopped with him as the Iron Dragon Slayer spoke, "Well, well if isn't Salamander. I would expect you to be busy with Jose and the others. What? To chicken to face them there or you couldn't wait till I beat your sorry ass myself, coward!!!!"

Natsu's fist lit up igniting with fire as Happy drops him down Gajeel with a wicked grin on his face changing his arm to iron both collided their fist causing a shockwave and destroying everything around them and Gajeel's minions instantly knocked out.

*CREEEE*

*BOOOM*

Both recoil their attacks enough to send them skidding as they give each other space with Natsu Fire Dragon Slayer Magic igniting him on fire with anger in his voice, "For Levy, Jet, Droy, Lucy, the Guild, and my friends!!! You creep from Phantom Lord just pissed me the hell off!!! I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET MAKING FAIRY TAIL YOUR ENEMY!!! <FIRE DRAGON'S –"

Gajeel grins eagerly finally having the chance to fight against Salamander both preparing their own respective attacks, "<IRON DRAGON'S –"

Both of them released the full power of the dragon's roar as distinct shadowy figures of dragons could be seen behind them released their attacks of iron and fire clashing, "—ROAR>!!!!!!"

*ROOOOOOO*

*BOOOOM*

Both roars's collided blowing everything near them apart causing a fight between Dragon Slayers to begin.
